Publisher Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Smart, likable Bernie Fine was the wonder boy of Wolff's, New York’s most glamorous department store. A senior VP on the way up, he arrives in San Francisco to open a West Coast store. His career is skyrocketing, but his life lacks a center. When he looks into the wide, innocent eyes of five-year-old Jane O’Reilly, and then into the equally enchanting eyes of her mother, Liz, Bernie knows he has found what he has been looking for. Bernie thought he had found love to last a lifetime, but when Liz is stricken with cancer, time becomes painfully short. Alone with two children, Bernie must face the loss and learn that life has other fine things to offer.

"For some reason I've been drawn to Danielle Steel books lately even though they are very predictable. I found this one different and enjoyed reading it. Even found myself crying at parts while reading during my commute lol"

" I had a love/hate relationship with this book. Love the characters, hated some part of this book. Would never have picked up a Steele book, but was in N.C. Fr some r&r and was the only thing to read. Guess it was what I needed at that time. "

— Rebecca, 1/13/2014 -
" Bernie Fine meets the woman of his dreams, single mother Liz O'Reilly. They get married and have a son but then Liz dies of cancer so Bernie is alone with Jane (Liz's daughter) and the new baby. So the first part is happy and then it's really sad and then it's about how he finds love with someone else. It follows the hero throughout which is a bit unusual for Steel. I think I've grown out of Danielle Steel books - I read a lot of them as a teen but they don't work so well for me now. (Although I do have a soft spot for Season of Passion...) "
— Kaetrin, 1/3/2014 -
" This is an older Steel book and I did enjoy it. I do find now that her books are becoming cookie cutter and I don't read all of the newer ones, unless I happen to see them at the library. "
— Martha, 1/3/2014 -
" I can't help it, I went through a Danielle Steel phase and I really enjoyed reading her wonderfully scandalice tales. The lives of these characters were always fascinating. "

" Absolute total garbage! The first, last & only Danielle Steel book I ever intend to read. And I only read because I was a captive audience. I was in the hospital, a friend brought this to me and it was the only thing I had to read! "
